I wish that Anna could realize that everyone celebrates in their own way--it's not always about being commercial. I think she did a wonderful service by getting attention drawn to mothers (who are usually the most overlooked people in the world) and giving them a special day of their own--and then the same for fathers.<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
